Question #60176

A small block of mass m is kept on a bigger block ofmass M which is attached to a vertical spring of springconstant k as shown in the figure. The system oscillatesvertically. (a) Find the resultant force on the smallerblock when it is displaced through a distance x aboveits equilibrium position. (b) Find the normal force on thesmaller block at this position. When is this force smallestin magnitude ? (c) What can be the maximum amplitudewith which the two blocks may oscillate together ?
